‘Delightfully boring:’ SpaceX’s Dragon capsule Freedom aces 1st astronaut mission

Posted in space travel

The first mission for SpaceX’s newest Dragon crew capsule could hardly have gone more smoothly.

The spacecraft, named Freedom, flew SpaceX’s Crew-4 astronaut mission to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA, which wrapped up Friday afternoon (Oct. 14) with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida.
